Those prices start looking real good in light of the recent discussion
of $800+
motors! At 20 A, the peak torque you'd get is only 274 Oz-In. But, due to
the high speed, that would still be 1096 Oz-In with a 4:1 reduction.
6000 RPM /4 = 1500 at the screw, and would give 300 IPM rapid feeds
with a 5 TPI screw! They should work fine!
